  3. sway

    i3-compatible Wayland compositor

    Sway is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for i3. And they're probably the biggest outside of Gnome and KDE, so the support should be pretty good -- they maintain wlroots, which is what all the smaller Wayland compositors use.

  4. wlroots

    Discontinued A modular Wayland compositor library

    I haven't experienced any of those. The video game performance hit may be due to vsync, but I don't play games so I haven't noticed.

  5. ydotool

    Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)

    Does ydotool do what you need? I haven't even tried Wayland in years. I'm sure someday I'll find the need.

  6. piper

    GTK application to configure gaming devices (by libratbag)

    Have you tried Piper?

  7. swaymonad

    An auto-tiler for sway that implements Xmonad-like layouts.

    https://github.com/nicolasavru/swaymonad might do what you want. (I'm the author.)

  8. swaysome

    I don't actually remember what xmonad with workspaces by default (or what sway does, for that matter), I used https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Layout-IndependentScreens.html to get an independent set of workspaces per screen. You can (and I do) use https://gitlab.com/hyask/swaysome to get that with sway.

  9. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  10. Fusuma

    Multitouch gestures with libinput driver on Linux (by iberianpig)

    https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma this might do the job? I have been using it on Hyprland and, despite the downside of being in Ruby, it works really well and seems stable.

  11. input-leap

    Open-source KVM software

  12. xdg-desktop-portal

    Desktop integration portal

  13. wayvnc

    A VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors

    It says on their GitHub page that "Gnome, KDE, and Weston are not supported". What does that mean?

  14. logiops

    An unofficial userspace driver for HID++ Logitech devices
